Joseph Gibbons Eliminated in 16th Place ($14,000)
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
From the hijack seat, Philippe Plouffe opened to 35,000, and David Stefanski three-bet to 85,000 from the button. In the big blind, Joseph Gibbons took his stand, four-bet shoving his last ~280,000 at the pot. That folded Plouffe without incident, but Stefanski made the call with his big stack to put Gibbons to the test.
Showdown
Stefanski:
Gibbons:
It was a misstep for Gibbons after three days of playing very close to the vest. The dealer would not provide him any salvation, either, running out a board full of blanks. It came , and it's the last board Gibbons will get to see today. He's out in 16th place, good for a small pay bump up to $14,000.
Stefanski is up to 1.22 million with that knockout.
